Let’s dissolve some stuff in water.  Now let’s see what it does.  Or, let’s just read the following tutorials to figure out what happens: (Updated 6-7-22)

• An introduction to acids and bases:  What’s the difference between Arrhenius acids, Bronsted-Lowry acids, and Lewis acids?  Find out in this handy tutorial.
• In-depth tutorial explaining Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases:  Though the tutorial above explains Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases, some students may need a little more explanation.  This tutorial is where you can get it!
• Acids and bases:  This tutorial is old and I’m working on replacing it, but it still has information about pH, titrations, and other fun acid/base stuff.
• Acid-base Powerpoint:  It’s sort of a work in process, but should give you a good introduction to some of the basic ideas behind acids and bases.
• Naming acids and bases:  If you learn how to name acids and bases, then you can tell other people about what you learned in the previous tutorial.  I know this is a high priority for all of you.
• Balancing redox reactions in basic solution:  Let’s learn how to redox!

Supplemental videos:  These videos are all over at the amazing Crash Course YouTube channel.  I didn’t make these, though I wish I did.

• Crash Course Chemistry – pH and pOH:  You’ve heard of ’em.  Let’s see them in video form!
• Crash Course Chemistry – Buffers, the acid rain slayer:  Not a great pun, but a great video.
